We have a map of our new land. We will create our community, map out the landforms, directions, and settle in our town. We will get jobs and work together to make our community the best. We will have celebrations and respect other traditions. We will learn to get along with all people.

10. Science
Students will learn to test their questions and conduct experiments, share their results, and make changes to the experiment. It is very important that the student master the academic vocabulary. Every night they should practice using their words as they explain what they did in class.

11. Homework Students should review their Journal every day.
Vocabulary words are written in their journal at the beginning of each topic.
Students will get STEMScope log-in for review, the log-in information will be on the front cover of their journal.
Vocab quizzes are on Thursday and cumulative.
Any work not finished in class will be assigned as homework.
